Clara’s Cycle Booth Ltd. had the following transactions involving current liabilities in its first year of operations: 

1. The company ordered bicycles from suppliers for $466,000, on credit. It paid $206,000 to suppliers during the year. 

2. The shop has five employees, who earn gross wages of $344,000 for the year. From this, the company deducted 24% for income taxes, $17,028 in CPP premiums, and $5,610 in EI premiums before distributing the cheques to the staff. As an employer, Clara was also required to match the employees’ CPP premiums and pay $7,854 in EI premiums. Eleven-twelfths of the amounts due to the government (all except the last month) were paid before the end of the year. 

3. The company gives customers a one-year warranty against defects on bicycles. Management estimated that warranty costs would total 1.5% of sales. Sales of bicycles for the year were $2.3 million. During the year, the company spent $24,000 on refunds under the warranty. 

4. Some customers order expensive, custom-fitted bicycles. In these cases, the company requires them to pay a deposit of 25% of the selling price when the order is placed. During the year, deposits totalling $45,000 were received for custom orders. None of these orders have been delivered yet.
